ELLSWORTH — The tension between lakefront residents and recreational users of Green Lake ticked up at an April 19 City Council meeting, in an agenda item sponsored by Councilor Heather Grindle.
“I don’t own anything beyond the high-water mark,” Dedham resident Dale Jellison said.
Lake towns outside of Ellsworth have already moved on this.
Currently, statewide bill LD 626 is being considered in Augusta to regulate houseboats and floating structures on lakes, but it could take until 2022 for it to be decided.
Green Lake is not taken over by houseboats every July and August.
